Voices of Hope (VoH), a Kingston-based domestic abuse charity in partnership with Kingston's and Richmond's Women's Hubs, is holding a Silent No More event at KingsGate Church this International Women's Day (IWD), which is Saturday 8 March from 7pm – 9pm.

Silent No More is an event which focuses on raising awareness and taking action against gender-based Violence.

At the event, Nina Aouilk, an honour killing survivor, speaker, and advocate, will share her powerful journey and insights on combating honour-based and gender-based violence.

She will tell her journey, offering hope, practical steps for change, and a deeply personal approach to ending honour-based and gender-based violence.

Her personal story of resilience has inspired many around the world to challenge harmful traditions and support those affected by abuse.

Aoulik's talk will be followed by a panel where guests can ask her questions about her experiences and how she got through them.

There'll also be refreshments, a talk about how to tackle gender-based violence by Cherelle Abraham-Brown, a professional boxer who pushed VoH to host the event, and a session from Sisterhood Choir, singing a range of songs that resonate with them like Katy Perry's Roar and We Are Family.
